Topic: Will Dean Saglio be the last person to have a higher MAME score than Arcade? (Read 358 times)

In regards to Donkey Kong I have reason to believe that Dean Saglio will be the last person to have a higher MAME score than Arcade. The main reason being is that I believe Dean was an exception to the rule. Anyone who spends that much time on Donkey Kong will usually get a Donkey Kong machine. As evidenced by John McCurdy apparently getting a Donkey Kong machine.Basically if you spend 1,000 hours on Donkey Kong, spending $1,000 isn't that big of a deal since that represents $1 per hour spend. Maybe if Donkey Kong machines go to something like $2500 things will be different, but until then people will continue buy machines when they become good enough.

Well, last night I got a new PB on MAME of 446,800. Don't think I've ever played on a genuine arcade cab since the 80s and I was shit at it then. I got 353,500 at a nearby arcade but that was a 60:1, so I guess still MAME?

Also, where can I buy a DK cabinet for $1000 and any idea how much they are to ship to the UK?
